    Books are my comfort zone

    MINDSET 
    Sounds like you have almost like an information addiction. Always chasing that next piece of information that you think will be the answer to your problems but you can't expect a generic book to be tailored towards your life's specific problems. In other words, you will never the answers your...

    What if you never get a FTE?

    MINDSET 
    I've always tried to have the mindset of "don't wait until things are so unbearable to change it, but start early", definitely hard to implement but gives you a head start. Because I knew that I'd eventually change at that moment, but no point in waiting for it. I'm not talking about...

    My website has no sales! Here's why...

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    In my experience, getting sales is piss easy, I can do it with just about any eCommerce / lead gen business, even some piece of shit dropshipping store. The problem that a lot of businesses have (more than most that I've worked with) isn't revenue but profitability. What sorts of businesses...

    Seeking mentorship from local entrepreneurs on a car meetup this Sunday. Any advice?

    PEOPLE 
    YEPPPPPP. I met someone a few years back that I knew and they introduced me to their 'mentor' and apparently he could mentor me to, and it was a bullshit pyramid scheme they were trying to sell me. People have no shame.

    Referral Commission fee, what is reasonable?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Of course, real advice I was just supplying context because I thought I didn't supply enough info. Yeah that's what I'm saying, it seems like an unfair deal. But I agree with the above.

    Referral Commission fee, what is reasonable?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    With this structure, they are doing me a favour in the sense that I don't need to find my own clients but I guess as payment they need some sort of commission. For context, they can take the clients if they want to but are passing some of them off to me as they aren't the sort that they want at...

    Referral Commission fee, what is reasonable?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    So I'm going to potentially be in business with someone that I know and they will be giving me some clients but from what I can tell the proposed commission structure is a percentage wise of the current retainer that I charge every month and seems to go into perpetuity which seems excessive. My...

    I lost the purpose of reading books

    BOOKS MINDSET QUESTION 
    Great writeup mate, love the line "you gain confidence by doing. You cannot get that confidence or mindset shift by reading" I can definitely relate to this, and I think most people can.

    I lost the purpose of reading books

    BOOKS MINDSET QUESTION 
    This is interesting, I know someone who I've known for a long time and they've been stuck in a rut for many years, and they recommend reading all these philosophy books and such and talk about how their mindset has changed but when I compare their life from today to the last 7 years, it's...

    I lost the purpose of reading books

    BOOKS MINDSET QUESTION 
    Too be honest, I think most self-help books is just indulging in mental masturbation. It's all feel-good material that doesn't help solve any actual problems. Now sure when you're new, you might find some new ideas and it might seem revolutionary at the time but you've probably noticed the...

    $156 for a Facebook Ads course. Worth it??

    QUESTION 
    Hey mate, I've taken quite a few courses and let me tell you. Even the good content creators just recycle the same shit that's from their YT channel. If you're looking to buy a course because you think it's the missing piece to your knowledge puzzle, you are going to be in for a rude surprise...

    A weird rut I've been stuck in for years

    MINDSET 
    Yeah, looks like I'll need to keep going down that route of breaking things down. I've had problems in the past that I couldn't break problems down because I didn't have enough information to know how to solve the problem, and I didn't know how to acquire the information because you couldn't...

    A weird rut I've been stuck in for years

    MINDSET 
    Hmm, seems quite different to what I'm experiencing but I can relate to the breaking it down step that you mentioned. That's something I've been trying recently and ignoring the rest of the work until that small micro segment is done.

    A weird rut I've been stuck in for years

    MINDSET 
    I've had this problem for years where there's a task that I need to do but don't know how to do it and it's complicated or hard and because I don't have the answer there, I give up pretty much instantly or if I look at the task and think I won't be able to figure it out (which sometimes has been...

    What is the best thing you got from the forum?

    PEOPLE 
    The number one thing I'd have to say is when I got told to chase value not money. It was a really important mindset shift. I've seen other business owners chase money and even myself and it tends not to end well. Not to mention, it's not all that motivating.

    I Read 200 Books, Why Am I Not a Millionaire?

    MINDSET 
    I can really relate to this. I've read hundreds of books and now that I look back at it, all I ever achieved was mental masturbation. Complete waste of time in most cases. I learned a lot more being on the job and doing the actual thing. Books give you the feeling of making progress, but you...

    Setting goals in 2023 and non fastlane stuff

    MINDSET 
    Yeah I've got a few things that I'm going to be working towards this year that will make me definitely feel a lot more satisfied, just had the worry again of in a years time not having made much progress again because I know it will likely happen. I appreciate your help.

    Setting goals in 2023 and non fastlane stuff

    MINDSET 
    Hi everyone, first of all, Merry Christmas to you all. As we're approaching 2023, I had some stuff on my mind. As the years go by, I'm not be happy with how the year went in terms of progress made / accomplishments but the weird thing is that I don't know what I want so I'm stuck in this cycle...

    Entrepreneurship and money doesn't solve your problems?

    MINDSET 
    I've always thought money can buy happiness indirectly.
